The Robert Morris University men's soccer team returns to the North Athletic Complex pitch on Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 3:00 p.m. when James Madison University arrives in Moon Township. The match between the Colonials and Dukes was originally scheduled to be played on Wednesday, Oct. 26, but Hurricane Matthew forced a conference game into that date for JMU. RMU enters this meeting with a 4-9-2 overall record, while the Dukes own a 4-9-3 mark with wins in their last three games.
 
All-Time Series vs. James Madison
